It has occurred to me that I don’t seem to have ever posted “officially” my old Doom and Doom 2 SC-8850 MIDI remixes! This soundtrack, which I titled: “Doom Revisited”, consists of the complete soundtrack to Doom and most of the soundtrack to Doom 2. The recordings are straight from my Roland SC-8850 with no other editing. When I made these remixes, I directly ripped the MUS/LUMP’s from the DOOM Wad files and converted them to MIDI myself.

I recorded these all between April 28th and May 17 2009. If memory serves, I was really getting into programming the MFX of my Roland SC-8850, particularly the Guitar Amp Simulator effects. My sonic/tonal goal, was not to achieve some sort of “total realism” but a cool sounding balance in the middle. I think that was achieved and I have always been very happy with these remixes. I hope you enjoy them as well.

Also provided are my original MIDI files from these remixes. One of the MIDI’s however, Doom 2 – Countdown to Death, is in old Cakewalk .WRK format, as that song utilized 30 MIDI channels instead of the usual 16!
